Here's What Our Patients Say About Dr. Goodwin
I made an appointment with Dr. Goodwin for an 2nd opinion on my knees. Dr Goodwin was able to offer me at least 3 options to delay knee replacement surgery, since I don’t want to go through knee replacement again in my elder years. The first doctor said my *only* options are NSAIDs or surgery, so I was pleased to have more options, at least for now. Dr. Goodwin was pleasant, kind, and listened carefully, was quick to understand and act, and is not giving me false hope, either. 5 stars!

I recently visited Dr. Goodwin’s office to discuss options for managing arthritis, and I couldn’t be more appreciative of the experience. Dr. Goodwin is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, taking the time to explain every option thoroughly and set realistic expectations. I really value how efficient yet personable he is. No fluff, just genuine care and practical solutions.
